WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden informed Congress on Monday that he will end the twin national emergencies for addressing COVID-19 on May 11, as most of the world has returned closer to normalcy nearly three years after they were first declared.
The move to end the national emergency and public health emergency declarations would formally restructure the federal coronavirus response to treat the virus as an endemic threat to public health that can be managed through agencies’ normal authorities.
It comes as lawmakers have already ended elements of the emergencies that kept millions of Americans insured during the pandemic. Combined with the drawdown of most federal COVID-19 relief money, it would also shift the development of vaccines and treatments away from the direct management of the federal government.
Biden’s announcement comes in a statement opposing resolutions being brought to the floor this week by House Republicans to bring the emergency to an immediate end. House Republicans are also gearing up to launch investigations on the federal government’s response to COVID-19.

Why May 11 and not today?
I’m sure there is some political advantage to be had on that date............
Because he wants to hold onto the possibility of changing his mind and coming up with a BS excuse to extend them on or around May 10.
Because the virus will go into hibernation on that day.
It will awaken sometime next Fall.
Thank you, oh Great White Father.
That's the day he will announce he is running again for pResident. He will claim that he got rid of Covid and saved the country. And the media will cheer.
Because there is something magical about numbers they make up, you know, like 6 feet, 2 weeks... It’s all about science. Giant /S
May 11th?? Why not the 10th? or 8th? Or 5th? Or 2nd? Or Apr 30th?...etc

Are drivers suffering from medical coincidences.. ?
I think it has something to do with the student loan payment deferral and pending court cases. That is my guess. Under this emergency, they have been able to pause repayments for 3 years. I am not sure of the angle, but I think that explains the timing.
I wonder how many people will rush to “get tested” every time they sneeze once they have to start paying for it?

Wuhan Lab had too many call in sick. They passed out at 31 Flavors last night. Beside, supply chain shortages.
UPS can’t get the new variant delivered before May 10.
We’re all in this together! Should be two weeks to flatten the curve.
Hard to know whether this administration is insane or just stupid.
How do they predict the unpredictable that threat from wu-flu will end on a specific day at a specific stroke of the clock?
There is something more to this than we are being told.
